You Say Pistachio

I was at the beach the other day. I was so tired, I was punchdrunk. But it was great to be at the beach, very healing. I got excited when I found some seashells. I carried them for awhile, thrilled with my treasure.

Then I looked down at them in my hand and saw what they really were: pistachio shells. I laughed hysterically at myself. It was great fun. It just proves that we see what we want to see. We believe what we want to believe. Would I have been equally happy to know I was picking up pistachio shells when I first found them? No. But I was happy in the moment, and now I sort of wish I had kept them, just to remind myself that we create our own happiness. Life is just a bowl of pistachios. ;)

I just want to tell you when we followed each other on twitter, I am @clearleadership; anyway, I just want you to know I appreciate you. I check your website about once a week, and your website, and especially the music calms my soul, and always makes me smile. Thank you for everything...

Happy belated Birthday, Lori.I just found this site. Sorry about Little Olive. I love my cats too. We have a very special relationship.You live at a beach in San Francisco, and I think, how wonderful!Paris doesn't appeal to me at all.There's something about the ocean that calls me. I yearn for the sea.But in my present incarnation, a beach just isn't in the works.Maybe someday. You never know what's going to happen.In the meantime I will enjoy the beach vicariously through you.All the best.Louise Sorensenlouise3anne twitter
